AI Art, Design and Self-Expression: a fireside chat with @covacut

​s it possible to make good art and design with AI — and if so, how? When technology lets anyone make an empty ‘cinematic video’ or a perfectly airbrushed photo, how can you use those tools to express something actually personal?

​Cole Lee, aka @covacut, is a design engineer turned video essayist. After graduating from Stanford and working at Windsurf, she changed careers to focus on documenting the creative technology revolution as an artist and creator. Over the last year, her videos on using AI tools to create beautiful, personal experiences have reached over 80 million people.

​Join her and Stardrift founder Leila Clark for a fireside chat and an evening centered on the role of AI in art, design, and self-expression. We’ll also be previewing Stardrift at our live trip-planning station, inspired by one of Cole’s videos, which will run throughout the evening. Plan a trip and take home a keepsake printed itinerary — with the best trip of the night winning an actual 2-night getaway!
